Photo Scout by Cascable vs Samatic

You say where, we say when! Photo Scout is your intelligent photography location assistant, scouting out your spots to tell you exactly when that perfect photo opportunity comes around. You’ll never miss the perfect sunset again! Unlike many other apps, Photo Scout is designed to be proactive - instead of having to check it every day, you'll get push notifications when opportunities arise, and you can add widgets to keep an eye on things right from your home screen. It’s for anyone who loves to be creative with a camera — be it an iPhone, DSLR/mirrorless camera, drone, film camera, or anything else! • If you love to travel, Photo Scout lets you enjoy your time away on that once-in-a-lifetime trip instead of spending it manually checking conditions. For the frequent traveller, the Instant Inspiration feature makes things even simpler by analysing the conditions at a chosen location and giving intelligent photo suggestions with just a couple of taps. • If you love a good sunset, sunset vibrancy requirements are for you. Perfect for that romantic bucket list trip! • If you love to fly drones, Photo Scout lets you fly safely with wind speed requirements. • If you love the night sky, Photo Scout lets you capture the cosmos with cloud cover, aurora, sunlight cycle, and moon requirements. • If you're a videographer or multi-day shooter, the opportunity chart feature helps keeps shots consistent by showing all upcoming opportunities for scenes over the coming days. No matter what kind of photography you do, stop checking multiple apps every day and let Photo Scout do the work for you! You tell us where, we tell you when. ---- Photo Scout comes with a seamless one-week free trial.

A slide projector, for the photographs already on your phone. Samatic is two halves of one machine. Your iPhone is the clicker — the corded remote, with the switch, the counter, the focus and the tray of slides. Your Apple TV is the projector and the screen. Load an album. Slide the switch across to LAMP. Press FOR, and the first picture comes up on the television. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Samatic on the Apple TV and leave it showing. 2. The phone finds the television by itself. The cord at the bottom of the clicker shows when the two are joined. 3. Tap the label slot near the top of the machine and choose an album. That album is your tray of slides. 4. Push the switch across to LAMP — push it with your thumb, it doesn't answer a tap. 5. FOR for the next picture. REV to go back one. 6. Hold FOCUS to send the picture soft, and the other end to bring it sharp, the way a real lens does. 7. Press AUTO and the pictures change by themselves. The timer decides how long each one stays up. 8. Switch back to OFF when the show is over. THE MACHINE The lamp takes a moment to come up to temperature. The fan runs while it's warm. The tray clunks as it turns. You can switch the sound and the vibration off if you'd rather it ran quietly. There's a service record inside the leaflet, counting the shows you've given, the slides you've projected and the hours on the lamp. Nothing here can be broken and no photograph can be lost, so press whatever you like and see what it does. YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS STAY YOURS There is no account. There is no sign-in. There is no Samatic server, because there is no Samatic company — just one person who wanted this to exist. Your photographs go from your phone to your own television, directly, over your own Wi-Fi. They are never uploaded anywhere. Nothing is collected, nothing is tracked, nothing is sold, and there is no analytics, no advertising and no crash reporting of any kind. FREE, AND ALL OF IT No subscription. No in-app purchases. WHAT YOU NEED An iPhone and an Apple TV on the same Wi-Fi network. Samatic is an original design, made in homage to the rotary-tray slide projectors of the 1960s and 70s. It is not made by, endorsed by, or associated with Eastman Kodak Company, and no manufacturer's trademark or letterform is reproduced.
